^WOW, didn't even know we were getting those in Canada!!

And why didn't Vman get one of these then?  :rofl:
If he wants, I can put in a word. Had a good chat with the big boss about the car today. It is for sale, but probably not for long.

What model is it?

If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I'm amazed that front splitter/scoops pass pedestrian injury regs..?

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Woman wearing a covid mask while driving, but she didn't use her turn signal while making a couple turns.

I do too if I'm just driving from store to store.  I figure the less handling of the mask, the better

If she wanted to be really safe, she should have handled the turn signal lever.

What, no comment on the vast use of non-functional vents in the front and rear grilles?  Ya'll had plenty to say about the fake vents on the Civic Type R.

You think the "big dog" could have gotten better winter wheels. Those are terrible.

They probably don't make steelies that big.

Seriously though, what's wrong with them? A bit hard to tell from this angle but they don't look bad to me.

Not so much the style to me, but the offset.

WINTER WHEELS, OF COURSE. AND PUT ON WHAT THEY HAD AVAILABLE FOR A CAR THAT IS 1/1 IN CANADA RIGHT NOW.

AND YES FAKE VENTS ARE STUPID, BUT I DIDNT SEE ANY ON THE FRONT OF THIS ONE, THE BACK IS STUPID YES. MIND YOU, I DO NOT THINK IT IS OVERLY GOOD LOOKING PERSONALLY. C6 GEN FOR ME.

A set of spacers would work to fix the offset.

Sorry I keep caps on for work programs. Didnt notice.

He usually drives a Taycan TurboS. It was having winter wheels put on, so he drove the RS6 which had winters put on last minute.

That covered bit is a bumper. Not a blank fake grille.
